condor_submit_workers(1)

NAME

SYNOPSIS

condor_submit_workers [options] <servername><port><num-workers>

or

condor_submit_workers [options] --master-name <name><num-workers>

DESCRIPTION

condor_submit_workers schedules the execution of work_queue_worker(1)
on a grid managed by Condor through its job submission interface, condor_submit.
The number of work_queue_worker scheduled and run is given by the num-workers
argument.
The servername and port arguments specify the hostname and port number of the
master for the work_queue_worker to connect. Alternatively, this information can be obtained from
the catalog server by specifying the name of the work queue using the --master-name parameter.
